Ravyn cuts off our link, I give a pissed of growl of rage, turn to the side, and shove my fist into the wall... Just missing Kyson's head. His eyes widen in shock, a piece of Chicken Parmesan hanging from his fork halfway to his lips, as I yank my fist out of the wall, and sit back down in my seat.

" I'm sorry Ky... But I just talked to Ravyn." At those words, everyone stops in less than a heartbeat, the food on their plates now long forgotten and the air growing tense and crackling with uncertainty around us, as all eyes turn to me, all of them glowing crimson with their growing rage, and I see Robyn, who is sitting on the floor betweem Alec's legs, refusing to touch any food that Alec tries to give him, tense up.

On a completely unrelated note, they have all gotten attached to the twins... Wanting to protect them with everything they've got.

" What did he say?" Robyn finally speaks up, pulling me from my thoughts, his voice dull and lifeless, as he just stares at the floor, but I see his ears, which have only been pressed to his head the past few days that Ravyn has been gone, perk up, and swivel in my direction as he listens in much more intently.

" He didn't tell me where he was, he said he couldn't, but he did say he was safe... And Xavier, who we found dead down by OakCreek Lake, was the one who was chasing after him the Night I went and talked with Troye... He said he was saved however, but he won't tell me by who..." I explain, feeling my heart ache dully in my chest, as my Beloved's Beautiful, Innocent face and Angelic little giggle flash through my mind, and I feel my rage begin to boil over... Again.

" Hm... If he is safe then... I suppose we will just have to wait for him to come back." Jaxx speaks up, but I know he has his own doubts, as he gently nudges Jazz's plate towards the lifeless, dull-eyed boy, and tries to coax him into eating some more.

I put my head in my hands with a soft sigh, as a million different names of potential people go through my mind... And then it hits me... There is only one person that I know of in the world that can take enemy by absolute surprise... And he has a bad history with my Family...

" What? What's wrong?" Jaxx asks, worriedly, sensing that I have just thought of someone, as I take a sharp intake of breath through clenched teeth, and look up at him. I wave my hands at Jazz, making sure he isn't focused on me, and Jaxx, understanding what I am indicating from just eye contact, quickly covers Jazz's ears...

" Okay... Now spill." Jemm pipes up, sounding like a teenage girl trying to get the scoop from her little clique, leaning past Jazz, who just eats hit food without a single care in the world, as I take a deep breath, and tell them one simple word.

" Osiris." And just like that, Jemm is fuming mad, Jaxx is trying to calm him down while keeping Jazz oblivious to what is happening, Robyn is frozen, and everyone else is tensed up.

Without waiting for them to respond any further, I push myself away from the Dining table, my eyes blazing crimson, my sudden movement startling my brothers, besides Jazz of course, who still has no idea what to do, and putting them on high alert, and stalk out of the room.

I rush upstairs to my Study, so deep in thought, and so pissed, that I barely even notice Finn is sitting on the landing with Lukah, who is a sobbing mess, in his arms, as I swing open the doors to my Study, and throw myself into my desk chair. I begin flipping through document after document, and scanning through map after map, as a million different scenarios of what could happen to Ravyn go through my mind nonstop, and I nearly begin to cry.

Finally, after almost three hours, three hours that could have costed my Beloved his life, I find the maps I was looking for, pull myself out of my chair, and dash out of my Study.

" Nik?" Alec, who is holding Robyn, asleep in his arms, calls to me, voice full of worry and confusion, as I pass him on the stairs, but I barely even glance at him, as I rush out the front door, not even pausing to shut it, and literally to my car.

I drive for what feels like centuries, heading for the dangerous Mountains at law-breaking speed, while one person stays on my thoughts... Ravyn. I jump slightly, the ringing of my phone pulling me from my thoughts, as I pick it up, and put it to my ear... Not even bothering to check the ID...

" What?" I snap, a bit too hotly, my eyes trained on the road ahead, as I clench the steering wheel tightly with my free hand,causing my knuckles to turn white, and try to keep focused on the task at hand so I don't swerve and kill anyone...

" Sorry to bother you Nik but... Where the Hell are you? Don't even me you are heading down there!" Cas's voice hits my ears, making me sigh/growl under my breath incoherently.

" I am, as a matter of fact, heading up to Canada...." I respond stiffly, my voice clipped, as he gives a snarl in response.

" I'll send backup Nik... Your Dumbass self can't go into Dragon Territory all alone! Do you a fucking death wish?! For fuck's sake Nikolai! You will surely get yourself killed!" Cas responds in rage, making me roll my eyes with another growl of rage and hate... Not for my little brother of course, but for the damned Snakes who dared to touch my Beloved in way.

" Whatever Cas... Just make sure you keep the Triplets, Alec, and Robyn away... I don't need them going so they can get distracted by each other and others... And I do need Jemm going on a rampage." I respond finally, waving off his unnecessary worry, as he growls at me again, but I simply just ignore him.

" Alright Nik... Whatever... Be a damned Idiot if that's what you want! Just... don't be too rash will you? You have a habit of letting your Hotheaded self get carried away... If you don't tone it down a notch or two, or maybe three, they will tear you to shreds in less than a heartbeat! And, I don't know about you, but none of us want a recurrence from what happend to Ja---"

" Cas! Do bring that up again! Just... Get the damned backup already." I snarl, quickly cutting him off, as my upper lip curves up in a sneer, and I nearly slam my hand through my own damned windshield.

" Okay, okay! Goddess... I have the backup on the way... Love you." He says, the 'love you' part a bit forced and in a pissed tone, as I chew on my bottom lip before giving a short responce to him.

" Love you too..." And with that, I hang up the phone, throw it over my shoulder and into the backseat, not wanting to get distracted again, and speed up... Needing to get to Ravyn desperately... Before it's too late...

If I don't get to him in time, he will surely be touched... Or tortured... Or worse... I didn't get to Jazz in time... But I won't make the same mistake twice... I will get to him before anything else happens... I will allow that Serpant Scum to damage another person I cherish and love... I won't... No... I can't!
